One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 73 - New Problem, Need Of A Hero!

Chapter 73

Title: New problem, need of a hero!

….

After Amon took a bath, the others prepared themselves, after eating breakfast, they decided to move out. When everyone was preparing to leave, Robin and Amon were in a room, alone. Robin was sitting on a bench, facing the window.

"Robin, gimme a kiss…" 

Amon was laying on Robin's lap and had his arms raised upwards towards Robin's face. She knocked his forehead lightly as Amon slopped his hands down. "Aww… that hurt."

Robin was reading some documents and was biting a pen. "Things are getting a little messy… I need to check some things."

"Hey… Don't ignore me~" Acting childish, Amon again raised his hands, only for the same thing to happen. Robin replied with a calm yet irritated tone. "Don't act childish."

"Huh…. what type of sister won't kiss her brother. You are so rude." Amon covered his face and stayed silent.

Sighing, Robin put the documents down with a sigh. "What happened to you… you are acting too childish today."

Peeking at her face underneath his hand, Amon stayed silent. He then moved his hands and got up with a yawn. "Forget it, Imma head out–Ah!"

Robin pulled him down on her lap and leaned her face towards him from the top. "Do you want to hide some things from your sister… You want to  be punished?" 

Amon smiled strangely and raised his hands again and started to pull her face closer by holding the back of her head. "You want to play hard, sis?"

Amon pulled her face terribly close, while Robin didn't have time to even understand anything. Her eyes were wide and her face was too close. 'I shouldn't–'

*Creak!* "HEY!"

Before things could have gotten interesting, Raki arrived by opening the door abruptly. "Bro, time to leave–AHHH! LOOK AT THIS WRENCH!"

Raki jumped up seeing the scene and almost rushed towards Robin with her sword.

Obviously, Amon sensed her coming, that was why he acted like this in the first place. He didn't have any plan to go into that type of relationship with Robin unless she took the initiative. This was just him trying to cheer up his mood  from the dream last night.

"B-BRO–Azz!" 

Before she could continue, Amon [Flashed] to her back and chopped her neck lightly with his hands covered in electricity, thus knocking her out. 

Robin quickly pulled herself together  and shook her head. In the meantime, Amon took Raki and placed her in a comfy chair.

Robin frowned lightly. "Don't try that… Ever. Do you treat me like every other girl you met?"

Amon just winked at her with his tongue out. "Don't worry, it was a joke. I would have stopped at the last moment anyway."

Robin's frown lessened. 'But could I have stopp–NO! Robin don't even think about it, your relationship will be destroyed.' Robin couldn't even imagine how things will escalate when they cross that invisible line. Will he treat her like the other girls? Leaving after one night?... She didn't know, she was scared to know.

Sighing, she was about to get up from her seat as Amon's voice entered her ears.

"By the way, did you send the information to 'him'?" Amon asked while he was changing his clothes. He was wearing a suit completely clad in black, he was trying to look professional for his talk with King Cobra. Though it will take 3 days for them to reach, he decided to wear them beforehand to not feel too uncomfortable later on.

Robin nodded lightly. "Yes, from what I know, he is in Alabasta already. But I don't understand something …" Robin had a slight frown on her face. "Though it's a good idea to send a Vice-Admiral like him after Crocodile, it will be bad for us if he finds out about the alliance between us and Crocodile."

While she was talking, Amon was trying to tie his tie, though he was having quite a trouble. This was, after all, his 2nd time wearing a Suit and tie in this world. Robin walked over and started to help him .

"..."

"...Anyway, ahem." Amon released a fake cough and looked away, 'embarrassed'. "Don't worry about him by the way. I only chose him since he's greedy for a rank up, not that he will get it though."

"Mm… I see." Robin nodded.

"I have plans… it will work just fine," looking up, Amon smirked, as Robin felt weird from that evil face he was making. It was one of the evilest smiles she saw in her life, yet she felt happy seeing him smile. She couldn't believe where she was standing now to even think of such things... 'Not that it matters, I don't care anyway.'

«...?..»

After that Amon and the group started to move through the desert again. 

The unconscious Raki was riding the same camel as Robin since Robin could hold her with extra hands, and Amon was with Isa and Aisa.

Amon was wearing a native outfit on top of his suit and regretted his decision instantly. Not that he felt hot, it was simply too uncomfortable. He currently had his mask back on and his hair was white as well. 

It was very tiring for 31 of the 33 people to go through the desert. They stopped at some towns on the way and Amon sometimes disappeared saying he had some work… though only Amon knew what type of work he had. 

After many hardships, finally, 3 days later, they reached the city of Alubarna, the capital of Alabasta!

….

 "Buy fresh bread!"

"Get some date palm!"

"Chicks! Young and tasty chicks!"

"Beef meat! We have beef meat!"

After letting the royal guards at the city gate know of their arrival, Amon's group was walking through the middle of a busy road filled with side-shops. 

It was quite a sight and a few of the Skypieans gulped seeing the food all around. Raki, who was struggling in Robin's grasp, stopped her attempts while her eyes were set on some cooked beef.

"...Fu fu, you want some? I have money, I can buy them if you want." 

Robin said from her back, as she looked away. "Y-You don't need to act like a good girl… I will just ask my brother later."

While Robin teased her some more and the citizens of Alubarna were giving them looks filled with curiosity, Amon enhanced his observation. Feeling the electrical fields in the air, Amon closed his eyes. Then using [Thunder Eyes] he started to spy inside the Royal Palace of Alabasta. 

….

It seems Cobra didn't have much time to prepare his meeting for them. He was simply too worried about his daughter's whereabouts, just 2 nights ago, some people kidnapped her from inside the Palace!

It was an impossible thing to happen, for someone to be daring enough to kidnap the princess, even so from inside the palace?! This meant there was a spy in the palace, or else, the culprit is a very powerful person, maybe a high-ranking assassin?!

Her kidnapping has already occurred once in the past, so this made him worry even more. He wasn't sure if he would be able to live if something happened to Vivi! He called some marines yesterday, but they will take a lot of time. He even informed Crocodile, but he simply didn't even pick the den-den mushi call... As if the call didn't even reach him.

Finally, he contacted the Valkyries' branch here, and some of them were searching for the culprit even now. But who he was looking for was their leader, the Warlord of the Sea, Lucifer! 

Today he was worried and busy, he was more concerned to use his time to meet people from a kingdom he isn't interested in.

….

Amon opened his eyes as a smirk formed on his face. Yes, it was him who moved the strings. Having such high-speed was a cheat, Amon in his journey here was frequenting random thugs around. 

Money and power. He used these two against a big group of criminals. Under double disguise, he used the money to offer them a deal of holding the princess hostage for him. While they rejected, he used power to threaten them. They were forced to do as he asked them off.

He also cut the den-den mushi line with Croc. It was easy to hypnotize the snail to not reach Crocodile's snail. For the other snails, he had… ways.

It was also him who kidnapped the 8 y/o Vivi after knocking her unconscious. He did it smoothly and then presented her to the bandits. He just needs to act like a hero…  like the hero he was

«...?...»

–Reo Pov–

"Hey, Reo you feelin' fine?"

I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by a call as I looked at my side. It was my big brother, the 4th son of Father, Relo. 

"Ah, I'm fine. I'm just bored… Besides, we are waiting for the king for 4 hours now, yet he isn't here. It feels like he is disrespecting us."

"You feel like that too?" He said with a frown. "I never knew blue sea people were like this. And he's supposed to be a king?"

"Sigh…" 

Currently, we are in a guest room of the Royal Palace of this country. We were waiting here for hours now, yet the king hasn't even called us once, let alone come to meet us by himself.

Sigh, how humans in this part of the world are. I'm not sure why we are here, besides the fact we will form an alliance with them. Well, if Lord God said that, it will happen for sure. But I'm not confident if this would be a good idea to form an alliance with a country with a king like this. 

Kreak!

"Oh?"

Before I could think of anything more, the door opened and three people entered the room. 

A man with a small red nose and a powdered wig at the right.

A tall man with a purple line under each eye that runs down the sides of his face, making him resemble a falcon at the left.

And finally, a person with a wrinkled face, a tied-off beard, and long, curly, black hair. He is wearing a green robe with yellow edging, an orange and beige sash around his waist, and a purple coat. It didn't need me to be smart to understand, he was a King. The King of Alabasta, Nefertiti Cobra.

He looks nicer–

"Pardon," His hurried tone cut my thoughts. 

….

–General Pov–

"I heard Miss All Sunday came." He said looking around, as his face became bright seeing Robin sitting with Raki who was eating some beef.

He wanted to run forward and jump on her knees, but from a nudge of his subordinate, he regained his composure and glanced at the other people. At first, he just wanted to ask them to leave, but after hearing that Miss All Sunday herself came accompanying them, he changed his mind.

Sighing, he shook his head. They had weird wings, but he was too caught in the time to care about that. "The royal palace faced some problems, we hope you people would wait for a few days. We will treat you like a respectable guest in the meantime, please–"

"Yo, old man." Interrupting Him, Amon's voice sounded through the room. 

He slowly took off his mask and smiled at the king as his eyes arched up. It took 2 seconds for him to recognize Amon, after all, he's someone who he was trying to reach for 3 days 24/7.

"You wanna drive me out after I came here doing such a long journey? Meh, talk about bad bad treatment."

"L-LUCIFER!"

Cobra's face became strangely happy.
